Charles Bronson used his own personal .475 Wildey Magnum pistol in Death Wish 3. Having their obscure big game hunting pistol featured in the movie saved the company from going bankrupt. Wildey pistols are still in production.
I really hate looking at the comments during the intro of the video because I see stuff like this and I'm just completely at a loss for what the fuck this means and what the hell is going to happen in this video.
At this point I'm convinced that Mavalda is the good guy in the original story as well. I swear those children are of a Children of the Corn cult that worship that pine tree, corrupt the town with bizarre eyes and smiles, and speak in black speech. She gambles away the money to keep the children from having funding to their plots, and tries to arrest the mother as she's directly helping the kids. Good treatment makes them stronger.
At their current rate Disney is going to own Flamerian Farrira Films within the next few weeks, so you're probably right. I am only wondering which promising director's career they are going to tarnish for the Malvada prequel.
I work at a Dollar Tree and every time I see our products used as props in your videos (and Space Cop) I'm reminded of work. Then I die a little on the inside.
According to wikipedia, that ridiculous-looking handgun in Death Wish 3 was actually Charles Bronson's preferred pistol and its appearance in the movie helped save the manufacturer from bankruptcy.
Its the perfect gun to represent him and bad action stars in general. Very big, imposing (much less so in Charles case), but ultimately about as useful as a rock with googley eyes glued on it.
Michael Winner also intentionally made a stunt scene more dangerous than previously agreed upon/planned, causing the stuntman to not see the landing mat he was supposed to hit. Since the building was on fire, with flames higher than originally planned, because Michael was an asshole and made the pyro guys turn them up when cameras were rolling, he had to wing it when jumping off the roof. He missed a large part of the mat and broke a whole bunch of bones and ended up in the hospital for weeks, effectively ending his career. The icing on the cake was when Winner came to see him at the hospital with a journalist and photographers to document how considerate and worried he was over the stuntman's well being. When they were busy snapping pictures he leaned in and whispered in the stuntman's ear: "Don't you dare even think about suing me. You'll never get anywhere with that", then kept on smiling for the cameras.
@@RepKyle95 "Hollywood Bulldogs: The Rise and Falls of the Great British Stuntman" is a recent documentary in which the above story is talked about. Really good doc, well worth checking out.
So here's something interesting to know about Death Wish 3 - It was filmed, in its entirety, in _London._ Not a single shot of that movie was shot in New York City _because they couldn't afford it._
God, I thought everything looked weirdly familiar and not New York at all, but I didn't believe it. Apart from certain shots, it really is all filmed in 80s London. They had to get USAF personnel stationed at Lakenheath to dub over the extra's accents and everything. Amazing.
This is hilarious because I was like "huh what part of 1980's London looks apocalyptic and run-down?". Turns out they shot in Lambeth and Brixton which makes total sense, rough areas back in the day haha.
@@Gambit771 Well, the plug isn't especially weird itself (the major visible differences are that the outlets have shutters over the top two holes and the plugs have a much longer ground prong + partially coated main prongs), but it's certainly a uniquely British thing that's weird to notice in an action movie.
I like how the founder of Widley Firearms basically admits that Death Wish 3 pretty much saved his company and his sales spike every time it plays on cable television.
@@michaelccozens No one buys a Wildey for practical use. Especially if chambered in the .475 Wildey magnum round. The movie even showed Bronson having to make his own bullets because its cheaper & faster than waiting on a bullet from USA Firearms Corp.
Death Wish 3 was the only Death Wish I've seen. It was basically a film version of what old folks in gated communities thought the outside world looked like.
34:06 weren't those dumb kids the ones that still had parents?! edit: only the blonde boy that 180'd from despair to hope had parents. that girl asking about the star is a dumb orphan.
This is the episode I feel I have seen the most. Even after all these years of rewatching Redlettermedia, just something about death wish, that animated piece of crap, and chuck Norris is just so comforting
my theory is that these are just the kind of crappy movies you might have actually watched back in the days. 14-yo me would have taped these (DW and Invasion USA) on VHS and rewatched them over and over again.
@@luna-hw9li Whaddya mean "theory"? I grew up in this era of seeing nothing but marathons of "Blood Fist IV: Die Trying" and other garbage on cable during the day, and insane Tim & Eric-esque Christian-themed infomercials and weird indie movies at night. Kinda glad those days are over.
Didn't she say she hoped Michael Winner was rotting in hell, some 30 years after making the movie and shortly after he died? I think its safe to say she considers DW3 a low point in her life.
I did check out the movie on TH-cam, I was very disappointed to learn that Mrs Mavilda survived the lightning and they let her keep working at the orphanage as an assistant. It literally makes no sense, Flamarion Ferreira is an alien confirmed

+Ingmar Bergman Boyhood isn't pointless. Agreed. But aside its 12 years to make gimmick it isn't anything special. Acting was great but the characters portrayed we're mostly focused on aren't likeable. Cinematography is average.

Rich Evans laugh is the greatest sound in the known universe. If you call the suicide prevention hotline it should just be a recording of his laugh, because that's enough joy to save someones life.
Art Vandelay I love Rich’s laugh, but Ive seen people in the comments section who despise it, many times over the years I’ve watched this channel. I think it’s a you love it or hate it thing with his laugh.
That scene with the gun in Death Wish 3 is literally an ad for the Wildey Magnum. They're on record saying they saw a spike in sales every time the movie was on TV. The things are so obscenely expensive to buy and reload for though, so they went out of business anyway.
I never thought I was one of those "over the top" Star Trek nerds, but as soon as they started talking about Death Wish and Star Trek, I was like, "Yeah! That's the guy who plays the dad of the kid who died on that episode when they tried doing the Kolvoord Starburst!" That is when I realized...
My sister is in Death Wish 3. haha! She's also in a couple Chuck Norris films. You guys should watch "Lady Blue" my sis is the screaming hostage in the train scene at the end of the movie.
"Flamarion Ferreira is a graphic and digital artist who is employed by Walt Disney Television Studios Production Company. He has gained notoriety through his efforts as a background artist and storyboard revisionist on many movies and television series." They actually made it in the bizz.
Honestly, im watching through all these older episodes. and i think im going to take on something im sure all of you have done as die hard fans.. See, im a new fan. Rich evans has lured me in with his witty banter and pop culture laden bromides. And his guile, of course. And because ive fallen so hard so fast, i feel the only thing appropriate is to go on the journey together with these fine folks at RLM I think im going to attempt something they should call... THE CHALLENGE OF THE WORST im going to attempt to watch every movie they pick or spin before each episode. So i can really dive in to the shlock
26:45 I feel like the writer was a gun nerd and this is his fantasy mary sue sequence where normal people are actually interested in his knowledge of weird, high powered handguns. It's also funny how he dismisses a .44 magnum, which is already overpowered against a human not wearing body armor. "No that's a pistol cartridge. This is a gun designed to kill a charging rhino. That's what we need against the creeps." Not to mention .475 Wildey ammo is like $3 a round, if you can even find it. No wonder he handloads his own ammo.
I went to a Doctor Who convention years ago where two of the female guests told almost identical stories about creepy auditions for Michael Winner. Both involved being backlit so he could see under their clothes. In later years he became a restaurant critic ("Winner's Dinners") and fronted a long-running car insurance ad with the catchphrase "Calm down dear, it's only a commercial", later quoted in parliament by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Interesting to see all these recent comments about it... at the time this episode went up, they'd just recently done the Best of the Worst with Max Landis, so everyone knew how the guys knew Culkin was watching.
@@MegaZeta dude you are so obsessed about people knowing that you know he was on botw. I've already seen 3 of your comments about it. Maybe they're just jokes, but who would ever make jokes on the internet?
i saw Death Wish 3 in the theater when i was 8. I remember really liking it as a small child. It really is a cartoon. I purchased that DVD about 3 years ago and LAUGHED so hard . It takes 80s cheese to a new level
Look...I know I'm not the first one to say it...but Christmas or Cannon might be worth revisiting. In fact, it wouldn't have to even be a Christmas episode, I'd just be happy with another Cannon themed episode in general.
@9:20 Jay unwraps this dvd like a pro, unveiling Chuck Norris’ face like that, and then carefully not covering the face as he pulls the wrapper off. I think he missed his calling as a QVC presenter, or as a bimbo from Deal or No Deal.
This is one of my favorite episodes of Best of the Worst, I have watch this episode a lot, and I've actually seen all three of the movies featured, and the first three Death Wish movies thanks to B.O. T. W. If anyone is interested, The Christmas Tree is available on TH-cam. I would love to see "a Cannon Christmas" theme repeated, at some point, because this was awesome.
the live action remake of the christmas tree where we're supposed to sympathise with mrs malvida because the dad and the mayor are making her be evil mrs malvida - emma stone father - jesse eisenberg mother - aubrey plaza mayor - rich evans boy in the north pole - mike stoklasa lilly - jay bauman santa - himself narrator - jim from canada director - someone who's made one obscure film
I'm proud to say I've seen, and love, each of these amazing Cannon classics...trumped only by the Carolco collection. Pity we didn't get to see the reaction to the hilarity that is Marina Sirtis being pronounced dead from a broken arm.
Did anyone else notice at around 24:05 when you can start to see Jay's breath? Like he's getting so hot thinking about creepy sex stuff that his ice cold demon soul sublimates just a bit?
22:04 - Nick Lowe "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" -- for those, like me, who wondered what that catchy song was, but had never heard it before. I had to listen about 10 times to understand the lyrics to look it up.
As someone who grew up in Brookfield, CT, I've always been proud that Death Wish 3 features a gun that used to be made there. This movie is my hometown's 15 minutes of fame lol.
Death Wish 3 was my first ever violent action movie i ever saw as a kid, and to this day I ALWAYS quote the hilarious 1 liners and love this movie till this day
That Christmas tree movie aired on the hallmark channel or a similar cable station around I wanna say Christmas of ‘93. For some reason I watched it till the end where the mom invites Mivelda to celebrate Christmas with them… which seemed like a terrible idea.
I have an adult cousin who wanted to be like chuck Norris as a teen. My mom has fond memories of watching him crack himself in the nuts with his nunchucks. He wasn't the most coordinated man.
Death wish 3 is a veritable orgy of violence. In the first two there is some restraint in how Bronson killed a few people. In this film he must close to 60-70 people. It is insane.
Death Wish 3 seems to be a mix of Clockwork Orange and Warriors with one-fourth of the creativity. The Christmas Tree seems like an animated, Christmas version of Flowers in the Attic, and Invasion U.S.A. is just a more violent, poorly written Red Dawn. The real plot of that movie is that it is a sequel portraying a secret retaliation for the war-crimes committed in it's prequel, Canadian Bacon.
This is now a holiday staple in my home. It's not Christmas until I see these four talking about Cannon movies. It's also not Christmas if I don't see Bronson's murder spree. BOTW is the gift that keeps on giving!
All the office scenes in Invasion USA are what you would expect from a thriller/horror movie about an office employee who cracked, has become some kind of emotionless robot, and is now stalking his fellow employees from floor to floor.
I finally saw Death Wish 3 in full the other day. RLM does such a good job of showing but not showing. I can say that watching the movie is very different in a great way. Love this channel
I guess Macaulay Culkin did end up calling them!
I mean--- could you resist Rich Evans invitation?
@@Chatedh He is the superstar that appeared on Ellen. The guy can have whoever he wants
They finally spooned!
The problem now is he won't leave
Do you think in his wildest dreams then that he thought him and Mac would film a "bit" spooning on the floor.
Lesson learned from Deathwish 3: If you kill the queen creep, the worker creeps will flee the creep hive.

"Flamarion Ferreira is a graphic and digital artist who is employed by Walt Disney Television Studios Production Company. He has gained notoriety through his efforts as a background artist and storyboard revisionist on many movies and television series." They actually made it in the bizz.
Malvita--literally "bad life"
subtlety at its finest.
I thought it was Malvida, bad life. Though it'd be Vida Mal in proper grammar.
Noisemaker50 It's weird because when the narrator says it it sounds like "Mavilda."
It means evil in Esperanto.
It's actually Portuguese for "the mall's Vita"
@@mattrmsf Nope, it wouldn't be vida mal, it would be mal vida. Seems that spanish course isnt working out
"When America faces invasion for the first time in history. . ."
Someone failed history class.
Shhhh... the war of 1812 never happened, it's just an illusion.
I thought he was talking about the slave trade
@@quinwuzhre I thought he was talking about the time the English came over and killed all the Indians.
Not just Britain either. Technically, the Confederate States of America invaded in 1861 an again during Gettysburg in 1863.
War for independence doesnt count as an invasion though... neither does a civil war
The reason Death Wish 3 was set over just 2 blocks is that it was filmed in London in the mid 80's and there was a lack of Skyscrapers then
That Ernest Borg-nein joke was like class A top tier comedy.
holy crap i nearly died of laughter when santa killed her with Lightning.
Rich: Merry Christmas!! She's fucking dead!!"
Nostalgia Critic already fucking spoiled it for me three years ago.
you nearly died of laughter, but she died of lightning
Zeus, Jupiter, Santa... all the same diety
Fun fact: The Christmas Tree was released on video exactly 10 years before 9/11
It released in September? 😂
“He has a force field around it like Neil Breen” is incredibly under appreciated when it comes to Mike quotes.
Jay just saying "Oh really?? Tell us about this!" at Mike's star trek convention story is hilarious
Honestly, im watching through all these older episodes. and i think im going to take on something im sure all of you have done as die hard fans..
See, im a new fan. Rich evans has lured me in with his witty banter and pop culture laden bromides. And his guile, of course.
And because ive fallen so hard so fast, i feel the only thing appropriate is to go on the journey together with these fine folks at RLM
I think im going to attempt something they should call... THE CHALLENGE OF THE WORST
im going to attempt to watch every movie they pick or spin before each episode.
So i can really dive in to the shlock
26:45 I feel like the writer was a gun nerd and this is his fantasy mary sue sequence where normal people are actually interested in his knowledge of weird, high powered handguns. It's also funny how he dismisses a .44 magnum, which is already overpowered against a human not wearing body armor. "No that's a pistol cartridge. This is a gun designed to kill a charging rhino. That's what we need against the creeps." Not to mention .475 Wildey ammo is like $3 a round, if you can even find it. No wonder he handloads his own ammo.
The mention of the .44 Magnum was just a big "Fuck You" directed at Clint Eastwood.
It's Death Wish, everyone who watches it is a grandpa. The scene fits the demographic
@unnhkp8mza522A new low? You got pulled over for having expired tags on your car, chill TF out.
Holy shit, I have friends for the next hour and six minutes...please don't leave.
That's how I feel everytime!
@cj dub Scamibia
I went to a Doctor Who convention years ago where two of the female guests told almost identical stories about creepy auditions for Michael Winner. Both involved being backlit so he could see under their clothes. In later years he became a restaurant critic ("Winner's Dinners") and fronted a long-running car insurance ad with the catchphrase "Calm down dear, it's only a commercial", later quoted in parliament by Prime Minister David Cameron.
I know all of that sounds made up, but every word is true.
Which actresess were they?
@@mrblobby7864 Nicola Bryant and Sophie Aldred.
@@Miners666 Yes, after he lost weight.
Mediocre pervert man fails upward
One of the street punks in Death Wish 3 is played by Alex Winter!
greetings from the quarantine to anyone else who’s decided to binge red letter content
Greetings, fellow quarantined RLM fan!
I fucking hate my life
@@JacobyJ56 Who doesn't?
Kill me
Jokes on you, I'm always binging red letter content
Macaulay finally called Rich, but Jack answered the phone and they got to talking about Hackers.
Interesting to see all these recent comments about it... at the time this episode went up, they'd just recently done the Best of the Worst with Max Landis, so everyone knew how the guys knew Culkin was watching.
@@MegaZeta dude you are so obsessed about people knowing that you know he was on botw. I've already seen 3 of your comments about it. Maybe they're just jokes, but who would ever make jokes on the internet?
@@SomeGuyHowGoesIt You're welcome
i saw Death Wish 3 in the theater when i was 8. I remember really liking it as a small child. It really is a cartoon.
I purchased that DVD about 3 years ago and LAUGHED so hard . It takes 80s cheese to a new level
They really just picked everything that scares white suburbanites and made them zombie like goons lol
This is one of the classic!
Rewatched this episode at least 5 times over the years.
Look...I know I'm not the first one to say it...but Christmas or Cannon might be worth revisiting. In fact, it wouldn't have to even be a Christmas episode, I'd just be happy with another Cannon themed episode in general.
@9:20 Jay unwraps this dvd like a pro, unveiling Chuck Norris’ face like that, and then carefully not covering the face as he pulls the wrapper off. I think he missed his calling as a QVC presenter, or as a bimbo from Deal or No Deal.
Next year, we need a Wheel of The Worst Christmas Special.
Everything on the wheel is wrapped, so that you can't see what the movies are, but you still have to spin anyway.
or Hanukkah of the Worst where they watch a terrible movie every night for 8 nights and set it on fire. #VHSmenorah
Jacob Hill every year.
_~full-size Christmas tree spins laterally on wheel, knocking everyone over, wheel falls over on top of them~_
Mega Zeta ~breaking it yet again~
God I love Rich's angelic laugh. It's infectious and makes me all gooey inside.
This is one of my favorite episodes of Best of the Worst, I have watch this episode a lot, and I've actually seen all three of the movies featured, and the first three Death Wish movies thanks to B.O. T. W. If anyone is interested, The Christmas Tree is available on TH-cam. I would love to see "a Cannon Christmas" theme repeated, at some point, because this was awesome.
the live action remake of the christmas tree where we're supposed to sympathise with mrs malvida because the dad and the mayor are making her be evil
mrs malvida - emma stone
father - jesse eisenberg
mother - aubrey plaza
mayor - rich evans
boy in the north pole - mike stoklasa
lilly - jay bauman
santa - himself
narrator - jim from canada
director - someone who's made one obscure film
I've watched this episode NUMEROUS times. Death Wish 3 is a Cannon classic!!
These men are pawns.
These men are prawns.
I'm proud to say I've seen, and love, each of these amazing Cannon classics...trumped only by the Carolco collection.
Pity we didn't get to see the reaction to the hilarity that is Marina Sirtis being pronounced dead from a broken arm.
DW3 is full of one liners! Bronson Style! "My friend Wildy's here!"
"What's it to you?' "It's my car!" great lines in DW3!
Rich Evan's laugh is the gift that keeps on giving!
To be honest, I would love to have that hour of Mike and Rich talking Star Trek.
With Jay there. Trying not to look confused or frustrated.
I'm sure there's an episode that is basically ^^^ this
There are now multiple episodes of Mike & Rich talking about Star Trek.
@@thenostalgiafactor5023 Delightfully so!
Wish Granted!
Did anyone else notice at around 24:05 when you can start to see Jay's breath? Like he's getting so hot thinking about creepy sex stuff that his ice cold demon soul sublimates just a bit?
It's those little touches that keeps me coming back for more.
There is some at around the 14 min part too fr Jay. I wonder if its just really cold
Holy cow I never noticed that! Those hack frauds should've learned to fix HVAC and not VCRs!
is it possible that its some type of proof of a ghost caught on camera?
22:04 - Nick Lowe "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" -- for those, like me, who wondered what that catchy song was, but had never heard it before. I had to listen about 10 times to understand the lyrics to look it up.
As someone who grew up in Brookfield, CT, I've always been proud that Death Wish 3 features a gun that used to be made there. This movie is my hometown's 15 minutes of fame lol.
17:50 "This may not be fatal..."
Has to be one of my favorite Best of the Worst moments!
Probably the best trio of films, in one episode.
It's a Christmas Miracle ;)
Death Wish 3 was my first ever violent action movie i ever saw as a kid, and to this day I ALWAYS quote the hilarious 1 liners and love this movie till this day
I don't think Bronson wore a toupee, but Mike constantly bringing it up is funny.
That Christmas tree movie aired on the hallmark channel or a similar cable station around I wanna say Christmas of ‘93. For some reason I watched it till the end where the mom invites Mivelda to celebrate Christmas with them… which seemed like a terrible idea.
So the lightning didn't kill her?
@@LabrnMystic apparently not, or maybe my version had an alternate ending. After all, it was the hallmark channel.
I have an adult cousin who wanted to be like chuck Norris as a teen. My mom has fond memories of watching him crack himself in the nuts with his nunchucks.
He wasn't the most coordinated man.
Death wish 3 is a veritable orgy of violence. In the first two there is some restraint in how Bronson killed a few people. In this film he must close to 60-70 people. It is insane.
Insanely awesome!
When Mike and Rich start talking about Star Trek.... Jay and Josh should talk about "Twin Peaks"
Death Wish 3 seems to be a mix of Clockwork Orange and Warriors with one-fourth of the creativity.
The Christmas Tree seems like an animated, Christmas version of Flowers in the Attic, and Invasion U.S.A. is just a more violent, poorly written Red Dawn. The real plot of that movie is that it is a sequel portraying a secret retaliation for the war-crimes committed in it's prequel, Canadian Bacon.
+Brenden Pumphrey nice meme
It's basically a reverse Bay of Pigs, expect more justified and better organized.
This is now a holiday staple in my home. It's not Christmas until I see these four talking about Cannon movies. It's also not Christmas if I don't see Bronson's murder spree. BOTW is the gift that keeps on giving!
rewatching this knowing now that Macaulay Culkin's been on the show recently. you guys really made it happen
Macaulay Culkin first appeared on Best of the Worst three weeks before this episode went up.
One of my all-time favourite Best of the Worsts!!!
I want a Very Cannon Christmas 2: Electric Boogaloo because Lifeforce is legitimately great.
OMG this was the best thing I could've found in my subscriptions right now. What a pleasant surprise!
All the office scenes in Invasion USA are what you would expect from a thriller/horror movie about an office employee who cracked, has become some kind of emotionless robot, and is now stalking his fellow employees from floor to floor.
*furiously takes notes*
This episode is a Christmas tradition for me.
Literally the best episode...
I finally saw Death Wish 3 in full the other day. RLM does such a good job of showing but not showing. I can say that watching the movie is very different in a great way. Love this channel
